Cathedral roofline ceilings and a pair of skylights fill this top-floor Capitol Hill condo with the kind of light and character that takes 130 years to build. Set inside an 1896 brick Victorian mansion converted to residences, Unit 8 delivers 567 square feet of genuinely one-of-a-kind living at one of Denver’s most walkable addresses.
The main level opens to a living and dining area framed by soaring angled ceilings, a ceiling fan, and original radiator heat. The kitchen tucks into the roofline with warm oak cabinetry, tile counters, and a full appliance suite including refrigerator, range, and microwave. The full bath on the main level features original white subway tile, cobalt accent tile in a checkerboard band, a cast-iron clawfoot tub, a pedestal sink, and a radiator that signals the age and quality of the building’s bones.
The upper sleeping loft sits beneath two large skylights, carpet underfoot, a ceiling fan above, and enough height to stand comfortably at the center. It’s the kind of bedroom that makes you want to sleep in.
The building itself is the amenity: a covered wraparound front porch with original columns, a grand shared entry with dark wood wainscoting and turned-spindle staircase, shared laundry in the building, and one off-street parking space included. Walk score of 94, one block from Cheesman Park, minutes to Colfax, Congress Park, and the best independent restaurants on the Hill.
